Beatitudo could be considered the anglicization of declarations of blessedness; 44 beatitudes appear in the Old Testament (such as blessed is the man who finds wisdom (Proverbs 3:13); 40 appear in the New Testament, such as blessed are those who have not seen Christ, but still believe (John 20:29). The Beatitude generally has three parts: The pronouncement "Blessed is" or "blessed are" and a predicate nominative the man or those. The term markarios denotes a blessed state reserved only for the gods. Jesus is alluding to the unique kind of spiritual joy that only God and His family enjoys. In the Beatitudes in Matthew 5, Jesus exposes the depths of His own heart, while demonstrating the deficit of our own carnal hearts. The new man is a refurbished heart: poor in spirit acknowledges an entirely deficient core totally dependent on Almighty God. Mourning acknowledges we are totally full of sin and a cause of others suffering. Meek consists of being humbly compliant, trusting God's will for them. Hungering and thirsting for righteousness consists of putting aside human things, seeking the things of God. Merciful consists of seeking to extend to relieve burdens with an attitude of forbearance. Pure in heart consists of being unstained at the core of the being. Peacemakers consist of adopting the prime characteristic of God. Being persecuted consists of suffering for righteousness boldly before the world. If we express these attitudes, we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, put on a lamp stamp in front of the whole world.
